I got the nudge I needed

“I was stuck on the edge of my comfort zone when Dorothy gave me a nudge over the top. I felt uncomfortable and pushed back angry, reluctant to accept responsibility for my self sabotaging tactics. When I railed she was calm and philosophical and told me this is where change takes place and one day I would learn to own my achievements. It took me a while- but I got there. She was right! A good career coach will occasionally make us feel uncomfortable”

Highly recommended

“Who do you go to when all you know is what you don’t want to do? Dorothy! With her career coaching, she helped me lose my negativity, rediscover my self belief, build my self-confidence and become energised. It all seemed so seamless. I had been stuck in what she calls “yes/but” for years, but taking small steps I found out where I wanted to go and to get out there and do it! She was supportive when I needed it and also demanding when she had to be. Highly recommended.”
